[Flashcoders] flash saving microphone output locally

[Andrew Bunkell]

Hi,
Can anyone help?
I need to find out if it possible with flash to save the output of the
microphone locally, either as an mp3 or as a binary file which could then be
uploaded to the server and then using php made into an mp3.

I should also mention i would like to achieve this task without using the
communication server.

thanks for any feedback
Andrew

RE: [Flashcoders] zoomable Flash maps

[Ralph Caraveo]

Hey Jester,

Start here:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Miscellaneous/Math_Science/Q_20853587.ht
ml


I had a project that involved converting lat/long values into x,y
coordinates in Flash based from a U.S. map.  I had to find the formulas
for spherical projection and get a database of zip codes with matching
lat/long and then plot them onto the map in their relative locations.

This was something I did over 2 years ago and I vaguely remember what I
did but you should be able to find what you need starting from that link
alone.

[Flashcoders] .flv video problems on a Mac

[Woodage, Alison]

Hi,

I have a file that is loading .flv files dynamically and playing them
back via a mediaDisplay component.  The swf is packaged for flash player
7. 

Everything works fine except when run on a mac from a cd drive or
network drive (it is fine from a local drive, eg desktop) when flash
player 7 is installed.  If the player is upgraded to flash player 8 the
problem is resolved.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening under flash player 7 and not
8.  And a fix?

This is the code I'm using to load flv:

var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
netStream.onStatus = function(infoObject) {
status_txt.text += "Status (NetStream): " + newline;
status_txt.text += "Level: " + infoObject.level + newline;
status_txt.text += "Code:" + infoObject.code + newline;
};

main_movie.attachVideo(netStream);
netStream.setBufferTime(5);
videoToLoad = "../video/"+videoFileArray[videoNum];
netStream.play(videoToLoad);

Are you using the 'Test Project' button in the Project Panel?

Does it crash when using the keyboard shortcut as well?

Hi Judah,

Yes I definitely will. I Used them frequently in the past and am really
happy with the new api for them in as2, but this is the second time that
this aspect of it has tripped me up seriously so I imagine it must be so for
others as well. It should definitely be easier to find simple examples and
explanations.

I'll see if I can do a thorough search and report over the next few days as
pennance for my ignorance. :D

Use the NetConnection Debugger to see if your App is making a call to

That's a good starting point to get things up and running.

[Flashcoders] Re: external flv stuttering even though completely loaded.

[Matt Ganz]

UPDATE:

i've been tracing out the bytesLoaded, bytesTotal, and playheadTime
for my media display components so i can see what is going on. my
scenario is that i have 2 media display components and as 1 plays, the
other one loads in an flv behind the scenes.

whenever an flv gets loaded behind the scenes, i can see the bytes
being loaded and when it's fully loaded, playheadTime=0.

but when i load my first flv, the first time, into my 2nd media
display, i see the bytes loaded but the playhead time is empty...even
when it's fully loaded. the other flvs don't behave like this.

could that be my problem? and why might that happen with my very first flv?

thanks. -- matt.

I just made an awful mistake I never really anticipated. I imported an

Attempting to delete the junk, I accidentally deleted the wrong bitmap
folder, removing absolutely every bitmap from my flash project. Of
course revert does not work in this situation. I am totally at a loss

[Flashcoders] swf crashing inside Director MX 2004

[William Garr]

Hello list,
I have an MX 2004 swf running inside of Director MX 2004, and it is 
crashing in an odd way. After it plays a set of mp3's in sequence, 
playback in the current slide of the swf stops (Director does not crash).


The odd thing is, it can play certain sequences and everything is fine. 
It can even play the problem sequences, if they are placed at the head 
of the playlist. Originally, I attached the sounds. Then I tried 
preloading them, using a separate Sound object for each. Now I am 
alternating between two Sound objects, one loading while the other 
plays. The problem remains in each case. It doesn't have anything to do 
with anything else I'm doing in between sounds (I've swapped the actions 
around, and it doesn't impact the problem). It also doesn't seem to be 
related to any specific sound file, or the number of sound files in the 
sequence, or the number of unique sounds that have been loaded (I've 
also swapped the sounds around, and that doesn't impact it, either). 
I've rebuilt the Director movie in case there was some file corruption, 
but no change.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Bill Garr

[Flashcoders] Flash Remoting with ASP.NET

[Judah Frangipane]

I had a project setup running Flash Remoting with ASP.NET. We are 
working with another company and they backed up and cleaned the root 
directory of the site. I went into the backup and restored my files and 
now I no longer receive any sort of feedback from Flash Remoting calls. 
Not a onResult or an onFault event are triggered. My aspx pages work fine.


Is there anyway to test Flash Remoting is working? Or does this sound 
familiar to anyone?

Re: [Flashcoders] Embedded Flash Communicating with PowerPoint

[Manuel Saint-Victor]

The best way that I have seen this done(actually the only way is with visual
basic).  I managed to get it to work one time but found it to be too long a
workaround for the number of times that I needed to do it.
This is one 
exampleand
this forum does a lot of flash powerpoint integration.

Re: [Flashcoders] Martian Dataprovider confusion

[Judah Frangipane]

Cort,

I've have often wanted to use the dataprovider on it's own in my 
projects as well. Would you post back to the list your findings. What 
you've got to work. Thanks!


Judah
PS When I was starting out I used the dataprovider in a list component 
and set the list invisible. Then as my project progressed I needed to 
display the dataprovider data. It was funny that when I made the list 
visible all the work was done for me. :)

Thanks a lot Hans,

Just after sending that message (and thus having tried everything that
seemed to make sense) I tried new Array() and it did work. Your explaination
makes sense and it is marked as an api in a note of the components language
reference, but then it's also described as a class. I understand the
mechanics of mixins, but it still makes no sense to me as to why something
would want to be like this. I guess the good news is that I still have lots
to learn.

Initialize isn't listed in the documentation, I'll do some searching and
find out if I can learn anything more about that. I think I need to forget
that as1 ever existed if I'm ever going to enjoy as2 in time to forget it
ever existed and enjoy as3.

Thanks again.

[Flashcoders] external flv stuttering even though completely loaded.

[Matt Ganz]

hi.

i'm loading an external flv into a media display component behind the
scenes. the dimensions are 360x386 and the flv weighs 908kb. the
problem is that the when i tell it to play, it still stutters for the
first frame (on a high-speed connection).

before the user even gets to this part, the flv is already fully
loaded...but it still stutters.

it doesn't happen with any of the other flvs in my app which are
loaded the exact same way. but most of those weigh behind 250-600kb
and their dimensions are approx. 180x274.

this is how i preload my flvs behind the scenes:

mediaDisplay.setMedia( path, "FLV" );
mediaDisplay.play( 0 );
mediaDisplay.pause();

my assumption is that my video is at a dimension that is too big, it
weighs too much...and the cheesy effect i have at the beginning is too
much. can anyone think of anything else i might check into?

thanks. -- matt.

[Flashcoders] Trouble Updating Frame Position Using onEnterFrame

[kelly snyder]

Hans,

I can hardly believe it, but #2 worked.  Thanks a bunch.

Kelly


Hi,
im not sure what you want to do, but:
1. change the x position: it should be window.pie._x = x;
2. change the current frame for the pie clip: you should use whole numbers
and not 54.3 and 87.6, so gotoAndStop (Math.floor(x));

write your xml with paths to the FLVs...

then load the XML, parse it however you'd like, then populate your comboBox.
With an .change event, load the selected FLV.

Or are you new to doing that kind of stuff?

They are used here to support the following case:

You wrap a dynamic class. It takes time for that class to load, but
you want to call some methods on that class right away, before its
loaded. By registering callbacks, you can call a method on the class,
and be "calledback" when the data is ready. So, in this way, you don't
have to worry about waiting for the class to load, you just tell it to
do something, and it will tell you when it is done.

In the example code that i include in the post, you can see that i've
called the 'output' method of the wrapper instance, and its "running"
it before the class is loaded. Via callbacks, once the class is
loaded, i get the results of calling those methods.

Please note that i'm not talking about threads. Perhaps i should have
described it as 'queuing' your function calls.

Thanks for the reply!

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3.0 Alpha property not working with Sprite Objects

It looks like the documentation currently posted on Macromedia Labs

so the next time we publish the docs it will be correct. Sorry for the

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic runtime class', another example.

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
first off: cool ;).
Question though, since flash idea of multithreading is that there are no 
real threads for us to create and each method runs synchronized (as in 
public synchronized as in java), what would be a case where i would wanna 
use asynchronous callbacks?
I know that the XML object does this, but i think this object since its 
natively implemented and stuff really does run in a separate thread.

what i've come up with might be interesting to others who are

other methods that i've seen, is the use of Deferreds [1][2], allowing
for asynchronous calls to class' that are not yet loaded, but from
which you want to get back the results of your call. Also the ability
to set wether you want a method to be asynchronous or not (via naming
magic - ie. add '_deferred' to any method call (mymethod_deferred),
and you make that method asynchronous).

The code is not 100% stable good to go into the enterprise or
anything, but i hope that it is an example of (yet another) way to
handle runtime dynamic class'.

[Flashcoders] Dynamic runtime class', another example.

[Jos Yule]

I've just done some experimenting with dynamic runtime class'. I think
what i've come up with might be interesting to others who are
experimenting in this area. One thing that i think is different from
other methods that i've seen, is the use of Deferreds [1][2], allowing
for asynchronous calls to class' that are not yet loaded, but from
which you want to get back the results of your call. Also the ability
to set wether you want a method to be asynchronous or not (via naming
magic - ie. add '_deferred' to any method call (mymethod_deferred),
and you make that method asynchronous).

The code is not 100% stable good to go into the enterprise or
anything, but i hope that it is an example of (yet another) way to
handle runtime dynamic class'.

You can see my (long) post here:
http://www.theorganization.net/mt/archives/2005/11/29/flash_dynamic_runtime_class.html
tinurl:
http://tinyurl.com/96usc

Check the second update, that's where i have instructions for making
the demo work. Or read the whole rambling thing!

Re: [Flashcoders] Martian Dataprovider confusion

[Hans Wichman]

Hi,
i guess that the idea behind it was that:
- lots of people know about array's
- implementing a dataprovider interface might be too much for some, if you 
just want to put a few names in a listbox
- macromedia wrote some complex dataproviders for example to provide data 
from a webservice to a component
- good oo principles dictate the use of an abstract feature such as a 
dataprovider to provide data to a consumer
- the only logical thing since Array did not natively implement this 
dataprovider api is to do the mixin thing.


Im not really sure if the Initialize call is needed though, did you try it 
without?
It might be that if you try it on an empty stage, you need to call 
Initialize, but if you put a datagrid or something you don't need to, 
because it already takes care of the dirty details.

Like i said im not sure, i didnt try it out ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Cross-Browser Get Flash Object Script

[Jeff]

David,

I've been able to track the problem down to flash versions.  The problem 
is that on Windows flash versions less than 7, and on Mac versions less 
than 8, the moviename.getVariable function is not working.  The script 
below is actually returning a reference to the object correctly.  I 
added an additional test in my code to see if the getVariable method is 
not undefined, and if it is, I prompt the user to download a newer 
version of flash.  Do you know if there is a list of these type of 
incompatabilities anywhere?


Thanks,
Jeff

Re: [Flashcoders] how to stop mouse clicks leaking through the gaps in textFields?

[Kirk Roberts]

If the text is on a solid color background, try using that color 
background for the text field too. This might be the simplest fix.


Otherwise you'll want to create a symbol with a rectangle you can use 
as a hit area (and make invisible). You can create your text field in 
the symbol dynamically if you want to, or just include it in the symbol 
at authoring time and apply properties with ActionScript at runtime.


Or you can dynamically draw a rectangle for the hit area.

I use option #2 all the time and it is simple and effective.

Hope that helps,
Kirk

Re: [Flashcoders] Martian Dataprovider confusion

Hi,
if i do this:
DataProvider.Initialize(Array);
and var layers = new Array();

it works just fine. Don't know if this is the accepted way to go about it 
though ;)).


As for as i know i thought DataProvider was some kind of adapter class for 
arrays not really meant to be instantiated on its own.

[Flashcoders] problems with MovieClipLoader

[Julián Atienza]

Hi... i'm trying to manage the graphic Interface through a class.
  This class, for example, can manage buttons, states of the application, and 
also must be able to load movieclips in levels.
  
  I thought in MovieClipLoader cos i have to make certain operations in  the 
loaded level after load it, like positioning objects and so on... 
  
  i have a problem. I use the same class as listener in the way of (this is 
near to  pseudoCode) : 
  
  ---IN CONSTRUCTOR
  _mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
  _mcl.addListener(this);
  ---I HAVE MY OWN listeners in the CLASS
  
  public function onLoadInit(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
  trace("LOADED!");
  _state  = LOADED;
  }
  
  ---This is one of the methods that manage states and positions in the graphic 
interface
  
   private function updateInterface(sMovieName:String):Void {
  ...
_level0.maps._visible = false;
//loadClip in Level1
_mcl.loadClip(sMovieName, 1);
  
 //THIS INSTRUCTION HANG FLASH GETTING ALL RESOURCES AND NO
//TRACES OF onLoadInit or another Handlers of MovieClipLoader
while (_state != LOADED) {
   trace("loading...");
 }
 
//Instructions that must be made after load movieclip in level1
_level1.myMovieClip._visible = true; 
   //... etc
  -
  i hope u understood my problem. i don't want to make those final  operations 
in the listeners... i want to make a generic class for a lot  of cases...
  
  thank u so much

[Flashcoders] Martian Dataprovider confusion

[Cortlandt Winters]

Hi Folk,

I can't believe I'm having trouble using a dataprovider, but well... I am.
If somebody could lend me a brain I would appreciate it. Mine apparently is
having some problems. Here is the most reduced case. This code is in the
main timeline.

import mx.controls.listclasses.DataProvider;

var layers = new DataProvider();
layers.addItem({guy:"a"});

var thingtestLength = layers.getItemAt(layers.length);
var thingtestItem0 = layers.getItemAt(0);
var thingtestItem1 = layers.getItemAt(1);

trace(layers.length); // returns "undefined"
// but this one which uses layers.length to get the item
trace(thingtestLength.guy); // returns "a"

// these both just return undefined
trace(thingtestItem0.guy); // returns "undefined"
trace(thingtestItem1.guy); // returns "undefined"

So the item is being filed with an "undefined" key.
I thought that maybe we needed to have a label and tried this as well, but
with the same results.
layers.addItem({label:"joe", guy:"g", data:"a"});
and
layers.addItem({label:"joe2", data:{thing:"a2"}});
with the same results

Does this make sense to anyone?

By the way I also tried
var thingtestLength = layers.getItemAt(layers.length-1);
as that is what is supposed to be the proper syntax, but that gets us
"undefined" as well.

And of course I tried getLength() as well and I tried using
DataProviderClass as well in desperation. I also tried "dataProvider" with a
lower case d as that shows up syntax highlighted but then the compiler says
it cant find the file. It's been years since I've been this bewildered with
something not working. I even uninstalled and reinstalled flash thinking
that my configuration must be broken, but no. It seems to be me.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi list,

I need to make a geographical map viewer module in Flash with a dynamic

And I need to foresee an administration module that allows to drag and drop
hotspots on the maps
and store these hotspots to a database.


Please send me links to examples of Flash maps, howtos or anything that

Hi Ian, thanks! But I have read such code many times and in many forum.

[Flashcoders] how to stop mouse clicks leaking through the gaps in textFields?

[Kevin Boyd (MMCR)]

I am creating dynamic text sprites in a movieClip using createTextField()
for a bread crumb navigation feature to be used in a Director movie. Problem
is I just want plain text, no background on the text sprites but when you
try and click on the text and click between letters flash does not pick up
the click! 
 
Is there a simple way to turn off the transparency of these text members so
that the clicks do not leak through the gaps?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash8 IDE Crashes when publishing with theProjects panel

[Karina Steffens]

Hi John,

No solution here, but same problem, this time with MX2004. It's been driving
me nuts, and I couldn't find any mention of it in the technotes. It wouldn't
just crash, it would also corrupt one or two of the files being published :(
Uninstalling some resident programmes (such as google bar and picassa)
helped for a while, but then it started doing it again, on an intermittent
basis - now it crashes, now it don't ;)

Would be interesting to see if gProject helps, but even more interesting to
know why on earth it happens in the first place...

Yeh, I did some proper searching - e.g. Google! lol...

And got my textbox working.
Thanks for the links anyway!

Also, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the way to make scroll

btnScroll.onRelease = function() {
   content_Txt.scroll+=5;
};

(For Down)

btnScrollU.onRelease = function() {

For Up?

[Flashcoders] Compiler bug when extending MovieClip and calling super-function in subclass constructor

[Morten Barklund Shockwaved]

Hi,

I believe, that I've found a bug in the Flash 8 compiler.

Just for the facts: I have Flash 8 Professional (English edition) for 
Windows XP - no other version number, as far as I can see.


The bug is, that the compiler will result in a missing pop-operation 
thus leaving an extra item on the stack when extending movieclip and in 
the constructor of the subclass calling a function of the movieclip 
class. The special extension-function will have a missing pop-operation 
when the super-function is called without adding "this." or "super." to 
the function call.


The simplest case is a FLA file only containing:

var sc:SubClass = new SubClass();
trace(sc instanceof SubClass);

And SubClass only containing:

class SubClass extends MovieClip {
public function SubClass() {
play();
}
}

The trace will be false in the above, but when adding "this." or 
"super." to the play-invocation, the trace will be true.


When decompiled with Flasm 1.6 the only difference between a SWF with 
"this." and without is, that with "this." an extra pop()-operation is 
added. And this pop-operation should be there, as it will properly 
remove the "something" from the stack. (both FLM-files added for 
reference in below-mentioned ZIP)


The above is just a simple example, it is not actually occuring as we 
all know, that you cannot instantiate movieclips through the 
constructor. But you can instantiate movieclips by adding them to a 
movieclip in the library and attach this movieclip. Thus we can add an 
extra class Attacher:


class Attacher {
public function Attacher() {
_root.attachMovie("SubClass", "sub", 1);
}
}

And in the FLA file we create a movieclip in the library with the AS2 
class and identifier "SubClass". We change the frame actionscript to:


var attacher:Attacher = new Attacher();
trace(attacher instanceof Attacher);

Now, attacher is _not_ an instance of class Attacher. It is actually 
undefined. And _that_ is a bug!


It only occurs when extending movieclip (or maybe also Button or 
TextField, haven't tried those), and only when the reference to the 
super-function is in the constructor of the subclass. Haven't tried Flash 7.


I've added all the files needed to reproduce (and I've reproduced at 
other computers with Flash 8) to a zip, and it can be downloaded at:


http://actionscript.dk/downloads/bughunt.zip

Feel free to comment.

This bug report will be submitted to Macromedia after the sending of 
this mail.

[Flashcoders] SOAP HTTP 500 header

[Nikolaj Selvik]

Hi all,

Having a bit of a problem using SOAP and Flash - The SOAP 1.1 specifications 
say "the SOAP HTTP server MUST issue an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error response 
in case of a SOAP error", but Flash´s XML (and loadVars) Objects won't parse 
the data when a 500 header is returned. This way there is no way I can access 
the error data on the client, which happens to be exacly what I need to do... 
Did anyone here run into this issue? Is there a way to force the player to read 
the data, regardless of header?

Thanks,

Nick

Re: [Flashcoders] Load/export Symbol in ActionScript

[Ian Thomas]

Hi Juguang,

I posted the following about a week ago - I think it's what you're after:
--
  Can't remember where I got this solution - definitely not mine - but
here's how to create a MovieClip-derived class that doesn't need an
associated library symbol:
--
class net.something.MyButton extends MovieClip
{
static var symbolName:String = "__Packages.net.something.MyButton ";
static var symbolOwner:Function = MyButton;

public function MyButton()
{
}

static var symbolLinked=Object.registerClass(symbolName, symbolOwner);
}
--
To create it, use attachMovie:

import net.something.MyButton;

var button:MyButton=MyButton(myTimeline.attachMovie(MyButton.symbolName,
"someRandomButton",
myTimeline.getNextHighestDepth()));

Where myTimeline is whatever parent movie clip you're trying to attach to.

HTH,
  Ian

(I think I'll go away and put this in the FAQ...)

[Flashcoders] Aspect Oriented Programming

[lieven.cardoen]

Hi Simon, I'm trying to figure out this part of As2lib. It looks great,
but I don't have the time to look how it exactly works. This is what I
have so far : 

 

private static function
initLogMethodExecutionsAspect(weaver:SimpleWeaver):Void {

var
logMethodExecutionsAspect:LogMethodExecutionsAspect = new
LogMethodExecutionsAspect();

 
//weaver.addAspect(logMethodExecutionsAspect,
_global.be.idiomatic.framework.content);

 
weaver.addAspect(logMethodExecutionsAspect,
_global.be.idiomatic.module);

 
weaver.addAspect(logMethodExecutionsAspect, _global.org.as2lib.env.log);

}







 
//==

//  PUBLIC METHODS

 
//==

public static function
init(target:MovieClip):Void{

// use two separated try-catch
blocks because the application may run even if the weaving process
failed

try {

var weaver:SimpleWeaver
= new SimpleWeaver();

 
initLogMethodExecutionsAspect(weaver);

weaver.weave();

} catch
(exception:org.as2lib.env.except.Throwable) {

// send email to
application programmer

if
(logger.isErrorEnabled()) {

 
logger.error("Weaving failed with exception:\n" +
StringUtil.addSpaceIndent(exception.toString(), 2));

}

}



target.attachMovie("Application",
"application", 1);

}

 

 

My question is how does the  LogMethodExecutionsAspect class look like.
I haven't begun programming this class. All it should do is send a
message at the beginning of a method and at the end saying which class
and method the program is in. Do you have an example of such an Aspect?

 

Thx, greetz
